A Story of the Trench Commune.

CHAPTER Vl,— [Continued.]
‘•How unfortunate!” muttered Clement, in
his tetb. “War! Then the Chasseurs d’Aftique
will be ordered home, and Francisque with
them 1“
And then he turned to Mervale, and said, in
differently, “Well, it’s time we took a turn
across the Rhine. It doesn’t much matter to
me—l'm not going to enlist, but there will be
plenty of sight-seeing for you.”
“I hope it Won’t break up our sst, though,”
said Mervale, reflectively. “There are people
here I should be awfully sorry to lose sight of.”
“Who are they ; I shall remain ; so will most
of the felloWs you know.”
“Oh, yes—l know ; that’s always a comfort,”
returned Mervale, embarassed. “But there are
others, you know ; the—tne Summersons, for
ir.etalicc.”
“il knew it was coming, old fellow. Vou have
not got over that yet. Well, you’re not alone,
bhe is splendidly handsome, ’pon my soul 1
And, between you and me, I don’t think you
would come in last, if all of us were to run for
it.”
“Do you mean that, Do Boisrobert I” said
Mervale, gladly.
“I mean that, and no more ; so don’t say I
encouraged you, if you hang yourself in despair
one day, as jour countryman, Guildford, did
last year.”
“Is there really any truth In all those rumors
about the men she has jilted?” asked the Eng
lishman, anxiously.
“Truth 1 I should say so. But, mind you,
nobody has yet traced the fault to her. Jilting
is not the word. Mad infatution applied to her
lover3 would better describe the original cause
f the tragedies of which she has been the cen
tral figure. The woman is so diabolically beau
tiful that she can do any amount or mischief
without ever wishing or knowing it. And now,
if you’ll excuse me, we’ll go out,” lie added
after a pause.
Mervale walked by his side dreamingly, lost
in a lover’s Utopia. Nothing roused him,though
there was enough stirring in the streets to in
terest him Across the bridge, across the Place
de la Concorde, under the fierce summer sun.
that half melted the asphalte, and made a haze
like golden dust in the Champs Eiysees, the
people poured up the Rue Royale to the Made
leine. talking loudly of the debates in the Corps
Legislate, just across the river, walking arm-in
arm and crying, “A Berlin ! a Berlin 1” with the
vehement delight of a race to whom military
glory is dearer than peace and pleasure—dearer
even than art.
“This looks well,” said Clement as he bade
good-bye to his friend, near Miss Summerson’s
house
Trickster and traitor though he was, the man
had yet some of the quick, enthusiastic im
pulses ot his race, and his heart leaped and he
longed to shout with the rest that excellent
boast—‘ A Berlin I”
CHAPTER VII.
MISS SCMMEIISON AT HOME.
Miss Juliet tiummerson had been six years in
France, and her accent had retained nothing
more than a slight piquant flavor of the Mary
land dialect—a sharpness aid originality that
was not the least among her many charms, said
the mo-t impartial admirers, the rest consider
ing that French had been barbarously utteied
by being pronounced by Parisians.
She and her mother—a somnolent old lady,
who being nearly always changing her cap in
a harry, or dropping into protound sleep, will
have little to do with this narrative —had come
to Paris as the Inst, stage of the Grand Tour,
with excellent letters, and, apparently, limitless
pecuniary resources. They took a small hotel,
and “received” twice a week.
But that which helped them into fashionable
society more than introductions, ready money,
and liberal hospital ty, was the marvelous
beauty of the daughter—a beauty, as Reine
said, was positively disquieting in its perfection,
and wo Id have given to its possessor, had she
been barefooted and in a patched print dress, a
power to work her will that the mistress of the
Tuileries might liavj envied. Her face was
creamy white, her eye3 brown, and heavily
shaded by dark lashes; the hair of a curious
gold-rtd color, almost orange, was twisted into
a loose knot behind, i" a way that became fash
ionable iu Paris a few weeks after her appear
ance, under the style of a T Americaine.
She had small bands and feet, the extremities
of a creole who could neither walk nor work.—
And over all this, a solt, subtle air that was
neither child-like nor womanly, neither Parisian
nor American, but rather Oriental, perverse,
and pleasant to watch withal; witch-like, and
yet gentle—as Faustine’s manner maj have been,
because she knew not what denial meant—be
cause her tyranny had never yet been question
ed. Once confronted with her few men ever
thought of inquiring into her antecedents, or
discovering whether the vast mines in Colorado,
of which she sometimes spoke, had any exist
ence in reality.
People accepted her at her own estimation,
with regard to all these material details of her
life jxncl fortune ; her face was undeniable,
tlioiigh her not be; and gazing at that
face, within reacti of the slow glances of those
unfathomable brown eyes, Uolconda itself be
came a secondary consideration.
But her Golconda was as real as her face, to
judge from the evidences that bestrewed the
horns she had made for ’herself. No glarish
splendor, no gilding, marble consoles, statuary,
reproductions, or Chinese curiosities. The
room into which the reader is introduced was
well lit, liung with r#se-eolored draperies, meet
ing, tent-fashion, in the centte of the ceiling,
decorated, here the silk is looped up against
the walls, xv tli aquarelles by famous masters,
medallions bought at Rome or Florence, and
miniature relics dating from the middle ages.
The furniture was in keeping with this style
of mural ornamentation; scarcely an orthodox
chair was to be found. There were settees,
long, low conches, seats that looked like con
fused heaps of cusuions, and studding the floor
at regular intervals, porcelain jars and pots con
taining flowers, whose rare, vivid, contrasting
colors compensated for their lack of scent
Juliet said that one had no right to poison one's
friends on the pretext that one xvas fond of
flowers.
Here the Belie Americaine, as all fashionable
Paris called her, was ly'ng listlessly on a low
couch at one of the broad bow-windows No
one bad ever discovered Juliet Summe son in
an ungraceful attitude. She took easy statues
que poses naturally like panther. She had
never studied “deportment;” she would comb
her hair in her dressing room as though it wre
the Salle des Marechaux, and the Court of France
were watching her.
The bcok fell to the ground a-> she made a
movement to press a little papis lazuli knob that
sounded a gong in her lady’s-maid’s waiting
room. It was anew abstruse German work on
nrcineolgy. Juliet never read poetry or fiction
—at least, no more than was necessary for the
purpose of conversation : that was why by a
simple unpretentious word or two, she would
occasionally set a right discusions on most
sciettific points in which. Solons from the Leg
islative Chamber and Crichtons from the Insti
tute were losing themselves.
The mat 1 appeared and Juliet asked her. in
the quiet, decisive tone her servants were
familiar with, “Was it not M. de Boisrobert
whom 1 saw Cross the court-yard a moment
ago ?”
“Yes, Miss ; and I was bringi. g his name up
when the bell rang.”
Clement presented himself in a few moments,
and, shaking hands with Juiiet, threw himself
on a settee, with a frank gesture of weariness
and ilMmmor.
“What is amiss now ?” inquired Juliet, with
an amused expression.
She habitually assumed a tone of superiority,
with Clement—which fact did not at the pres
ent moment by any means lesson his vexation.
“Oh. everything’s amiss! I've had one of
your adorers for an hour, and that doesn’t con
duce to a state of boisterous exhilaration. That
Mei vale has Oeeu raving about you to such a
degree that I felt inclined to turn round upon
him, and swear your nose was snub and your
teeth false.”
“It is a bore to listen to. I, of all people,
should know how to symjathize with you. But
what else ?”
“Oil, there’s this war! It will bring Carayon
back upon us, and a deu.'e of a mess we shall
be in then.”
‘Anything else?” said Juliet, imperturbably.
“Well, what you heard about the girl is true.
She did try to kill herself the dtlier night, and
now she’s perfectly unmanageable.”
“That is the most serious item,” said Juliet
“I always warned you that you would find the
little wax doll hard as iron and marble when
brought to hay. Are you convinced now?
That likeness is usele.-s. You must see to
changing your tactics. Have you quite aban
doned your ambition of making Mdlle. Lagarde
Mdme. Boisrobert 1
“Well, yes ; 1 think it is hopeless, though she
must still be kept in sight.”
“Only for a short time, if you will adopt my
plan.”
“I will. But repeat the terms.”
“One hundred thousand francs on my marriage
with the Comte, and two hundred thousand
more in payments spread over the space of
eighteen months.”
“You forget the Legion of Honor, and an ap
pointment as sub-prefect a year after the event.’
“That is the convention. In return, you are
silent on the sill ject of my private affairs, atid
give youi help with the old man keeping Rciiie
out of sight until the marriage is tact.”
“Ay, that’s better,” said Clement, weariedly.
“There is really nothing to be done with the
girt.”
“No; and yet the net was cleverly woven 1
really believed at first that tue idea of mine,
leaxi.ig the laces with her in herpoveity, would
bring tier into our power. But fancy the gii!
Ciiuosing to starve rather than sell her benefac
tor’s property ! It's a piece of antique viitue;
they ought to put it in the Plutarch’s Lives of the
future."
“The old man is more valuable,” remarked
Clement “But can you make short work of
the business? lam awfully hard up There
will be a crash in in; affairs if you are not
rapid. That cursed eearte hasn’t brought me
in more than twenty pounds during the last
month,”
“Ob, my part will be promptly played 1”
Juliet sai down at a little inlaid wiiting-table,
wrote hurriedly for a few moments, a> and then
said, “See here; this will bring him, and pave
the way 1”
“Dear Comte, —
“This terrible war changes all our plan?. 1
fear we must quit Paris immediately. May I ask
you, as a trusted friend, to counsel and help me
in all the business arrangements that have to be
made be! ore we leave.”
The note was dispatched by a messenger.
“But.” objected Clement, “you will be obliged
to go, if lie doesn’t come to the point iriimedi
ait-Iy.”
“Bali ! You know his inlatuation; and I cau
extract a declaration in half an hour from a
cooler lover than the Comte de Chayolles.”
“But, stid, if you failed?’
“I shall not tail. But if, however, you are
bent upon making impossible hypotheses, we
will say that incase of failute, xve must ds
sccr.d to vulgarity, and use those papers that
expose his past life. A trial for bigamy is not
a bad s\\ord of Damocles to hang over the old
detard’s head.”
“Ay, but the papers ?” grumbled Clement.
“You talk about using them with a woman’s
usual lightness and bravery—when she is risk
ing somebody else’s skin I have not been able
to even look at them. That hound, Lagarde, is
just shrewd enough to keep the documents out
of my clutches, but never had an idea of the
purpose for which 1 wanted them.”
“He knows nothing of his sister's birth, then?”
“Nothing. Whenever I hare sounded him,
he lias stared blankly in my lace.”
“But how did you get the scent of the papers,
if iie is as secretive as you say?”
“I ha', e made use of a tellow named Choquard
now and then ; and more than a year ago, when
this intelligent and more or less faithful retainer
was incapacitated for active service by an attack
of lever, I got hold of Lagarde, and soon found
out that my new agent nourished a violent spite
against my respectable friend, Comte de Cha
yolles. Of course, the fellow went under a nom
de guerre. At last, in a fit of drunken confi
dence, he boasted of being able to humble the
village tyrant of his youth by simply making
known the existence of documents casting
shame on the noble house of Chayolles. I
wormed out of him, when he was sober, and
teiritird at the possible consequences of his
tipsy indiscret'on, that the-e papers were a
species of memoir or confession, written by the
Comte —I suppose tor posthumous publication—
in which he states minutely the circumstances
of his first unknown marriage with a country
girl at Aiques, who was living when he espous
ed to the lady the world knew as the Countess
de Chayolles. One child was the issue of the
secret marriage, and of her (it was a girl) La
garde informed me the Comte professed to have
lost sight. You see, it was a pretty valuable
■ secret for such a spendthrift to have got hold
of—bigamy and abandonment of mother and
child.”
“But what made you connect Reine with all
this ?”
‘ Everything. The eor.Tiction was patent
She xvas born of an Aiques woman. I found
out that Madame Lagarde, her real or soi-disant
mother was away at Rouen, at the time of the
birth, and returned with the baby, a few weeks
old, to Arques. After that, the Comte xvas al
ways very fumilliar with his tenant’s family, and
made an especial pet of Reine. She is unlike
the old Lagarde in face and figure. Then that
immediate adoption, and the insane passion fe t
for her by the old Comte, crowns one of the
piettiest fabrics of circumstantial evidence that
I have come across for years.”
“Ay ; you are right, it must be. Only it is
a remarkable circumstance that Eugene never
had an inkling of the truth, and has not yet
venturtd to make the slightest use of his
papers.”
“O.i, be has a curious sort o respect for his
mother and father, in spite of his lofty cynicism;
and would never dream of suspecting them of
any kind of trickery, such as must have been
concocted to pass the girl off s their child.—
Lastly, he dares not show himself to the Comte.
He imagines that a prosaic committal to the
police might crush out his vengeance. It is
this police perspective, and a promise of certain
pecuniary advantages, that I shall use to obtain
the papers.”
“The Comte de Chayolles is in the drawing
room,” announced a footman.
“Show him up here.” And turning to Clem
ent when the nia i had left, Juliet added, -‘You
withdraw for a few minutes. Don't go; it will
not last long, and I shall like to see you after
xvards.”
Clement raised the silk drapery at a spot with
which he seemed familiar, opened a door, and
disappeared.
The silken folds had not closed behind him,
when the Comte de Chayolles entered.
He was a tall, spare old man of sixty, gray
haired, bent and ap arently in ill-healib ; yet
the firmness} of the mouth, and a certain mili
tary decision of carriage, indicated a strength
of character which neither age nor sickness had
entirely broken.
There was little ste.-ness in his face, boxvever,
as he came towards Juliet with outstretched
hands and a trembling mile.
She rose, with a simple air of respect, and i
motioned him to a seat beside her.
“Is this true, Miss Summerson ? Are you
really going to leave us ?”
“There's no help for it. What are two poor
women to do here alone, in the midst of wir?
There may be armies all around us, communica
tions cut off, and we, who are tied io America
by wisps of banknotes and chains of dollars
would soon be reduced to starvation if a few
mails were to mis consecutively.”
“But indeed, Miss Sutnmerson, we cannot
spare you. What do mails and bank agents
matter, as long as you have loving friends
hi re ?”
“Ay, dear Comte, it is the friends that make
me feel as though [ were leaving borne, foreign
though I be. You have been so good to us.”
And tears gathered in her eyes as she spoke,
A blush came to the old man's cheek, and he
said, impulsively. “Yet, if I were young again,
to bid you stay in another fashion ?’’
Juliet called up a blush to her face, and bent
her head timidly.
“You might stay then ; you might feel what
sunlight you would take away with you, and so
remain out of pity. But sunlight at fifty! One
has just time to blink at it, and then all the
lights of their life go oiu togeth r !”
.Still the redness in her cheeks, and the droop
ing head.
“Juliet.” said the old man, perplexity and
glad, half-doubting surprise, giving strange in
flections to his voice, fitful expriS3ions to his
countenance, —“Juliet, I have betrayed ray folly,
and you must he: r me to the tnd now. Will
you bear n j name for a few short years? Will
you be as the daughter 1 have lest, more than
the wife the world would call you ? 1 can have
no other title than that of your husband to
keep you at my side, and make y >ur future fa ! r
as wealtli and station can make it. Forgive me
if I ask for that title. Again I say it will not
be long. You are rich in life and iam poor.—
Can yo i not .spare me a year or two?”
She placed her hand on his shoulder and said
softly, "I will give my life, dear friend. Not
from pity, or charity, or respect—but love !”
And she bent forward, and kissed him on the
forehead
“All !” she ci led; a quarter of an hour later,
when the Comte had left. “Oh, I an glad it’s
over! The part of an ingenue n muid nly
confusion, e> cetera, is one of the most fatigu
ing iu all my range of characters.”
“But how cleverly you did it!” said Clement.
“N >w hasten the denonment.”
“The documents must be destroyed. Suppose
the girl were to hear of then ? Where is Eu
gene Lagarde ?’
••In Belgium, I believe. I got him a commer
cial post there, in order to keep him out of the
way for a few months. He wouldn't have stood
any tampering with his sister, and doesn't re
gard M. de Boisrobert at all in the light of a
re.-pectable broth-r in-law. But he’U be back
in a day or two. 1 have just had a note from
his employees, saying that he left them some
time *go, and ju-t app.ied to them for money to
take him bu k to Paris. But the girl must be
kept loin him. The fellow actually sent her
half his salary for several weeks, Michon stop
p -d the letters, of course.”
Clement, felt pretty well satisfied with the
turn his nffiir3 had taken, and was building
cast es in Spain after his own ideal—where
eearte should be player eternally, and green
young English lords never tail to bet with him
—when a meek voice hailed him near the steps
of his club ; he turned round—it was Michon.
“The deuce 1 Michon, never you come here,
or I'll swear you do business at cent per cent.”
“Pardon, sir,” said the concierge, meeker than
ever, “but f have news, and you told me to in
form you ”
‘ The girl’s bolted, then ?” interrupted Clem
ent.
“With the Jew, Marcus, sir. He’s given up
his epartment, and paid her rent, and all that
was owing. They didn't take a cab at the door,
or I should have heard the new address. He’s
sold his furniture to au upholsterer; they have
taken nothing with them, I followed them a tM,
but Marcus caught sight of me, and tuld me to
go home quite threateningly.”
“That will do. It can’t be helped.”
And, over his absinthe at tile club, Clement
reflected cheerfully.
“Alter all, the brother is always a hold upon
her. They wouldn’t have gone to work so secret
ly it they had meant to make anything public.
1 shall have to invent another lie for Francisque,
I suppose—that is all.”

A BALLET-GIBL BUBNTAT THE
STAKE.
An inquest has been liekl at Sheffield
on tiie body of the poor ballet-girl,
Alina Oldale, who ctfine to her death
under the most wretched circum
stances through a fire which occur
red during the performance of a pan
tomime at the Sheffield Theater on
the 18th December last. The unfortu
nate deceased was only eighteen years
of age, and was engaged to enact the
part of an “‘extra” or “iiying lady” in the
transformation scene of the pantomime.
She was suspended from the “flies,”
standing on a piece of iron, and strapped
to an iron rod at her back. The gauze
curtains ut the wirg, from some un
known cause, caught lire and were blown
by a current of cold air toward the de
ceased; her muslin skirts—she had on
besides only a single garment —were at
once enveloped in flames, and it was
stated at the inquest that two min
utes elapsed before she could be
lowered to the stage. Being strap
ped to the iron rod, she was, of
course, utterly powerless, and be
tween such a fate and being burnt alivo
at the stake we are unable to discern any
mateiial difference. Alma Oklale ap
pears to have undergone the process of
roasting with remarkable courage, but
her nervous system was entirely shatter
ed by the shock she had sustained, and,
after lingering a few days the poor crea
ture died.—[London Telegraph.
